Mali Vegan Thai Restaurant in Kensington and Chelsea

Loved the food, staff were super friendly

This was absolutely delicious. Staff very lovely, food was quick but made with care. Absolutely will go back.

Great restaurant. I came without a reservation. They squeezed me in before the next reservation. I had the chickpea curry and the butterfly pea flower iced tea. Both absolutely delicious. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Can't complain about anything. Recommended for everyone, vegan or not.

The green curry was amazing! Definitely coming back to try more of their dishes.

Thai restaurant with vegetarian and vegan dishes. Excellent pad thai, good Chang beer. Friendly staff. Fast table service, which, almost at the end of the meal, borders on hasty.

As a non vegan eater such a good meal. I was surprised by how good the vegan duck was !

I’m not vegan but Im definitely coming back for more. This has got to be the best thai food Ive ever had and I literally cant believe its vegan.. like the texture of the vegan meat is just insanely similar to meat and it amazes me. More than that their curry is to die for. Just get whatever on the menu if you’re confused on what to get cause you wont regret anything! I do highly recommend the steak panang curry. Served on top of a small candle to keep it warm its just something I wish I could eat forever…😋😋😋 For the pretty presentation, the meat substitutes and the taste of the food this place is such a gem!!

Incredible food! Everyone was welcoming and attentive and the restaurant itself is cozy and cute.

The food was lovely! The vegan variations of everything was very similar to their non-vegan counterparts. My partner (vegan) and I (not) were both able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Only critic was that the dishes could've been a bit spicier but that might be just our high tolerances. We had: Sam Moo Tip Kua Prik; Kao Soi Nuea; Max Khai Muang Nueng Se-Ew; and I forgot the name of the mango ice cream dessert which could've had more sticky rice. For drinks we had the boozy milk tea which was nice. Service was very quick, we went early after opening and didn't have a reservation. Staff was lovely and everyone was friendly. 12.5% service charge. Atmosphere is lovely, even the bathroom was interesting. It definitely felt like you stepped into a little plot of Thailand in the middle of London. 9.5/10, it was amazing.

We celebrated an important birthday here and it was incredible in every way! The food is beautifully presented and delicious. The staff are personable and make good recommendations on ordering. The menu has a lot of unusual items that you may not find in other Thai restaurants and it is so nice for vegans and vegetarians to be able to order anything off the menu. I feel the food is so good that non-vegans and non-vegetarians would enjoy. I would recommend the chive cake appetizers and steamed spring rolls (with edible flowers). The drunken noodles with vegan duck, as well (not shown).

Delicious vegan Thai, I recommend the aubergine stir fry with purple rice. The Chang beer is also delicious!

Been coming here for a while now and still loves the vibes and it’s still delicious, but they can’t get the fish from the suppliers anymore which was my favourite dish!! 😭 not their fault and I still love it and will return! Servers are always lovely here

Food was amazing, their customer care is excellent. I didn’t have a reservation and they were very accommodating, I will definitely be coming back here.

One of the best vegan Thai restaurants i have ever been to. The mock meat is delicious and no flavors are lacking.

Delicious. A portion of two was a bit small. Staff very accommodating. Nice courtyard to sit in. Cozy. Most dishes use meat substitutes that look like meat. It doesn't have to be that way.

Easily one of the top vegan restaurants in London. We’ve come here a handful of times and they consistently deliver such high quality dishes and lovely service. It’s by far our favourite restaurant and I cannot recommend it enough - even the non vegans will love it.

This place is super cute, and the food is so delicious

We chose this vegan Thai restaurant as it was close to our hotel and it turned out to be a great choice! Tasty vegan dishes with generous portions (pad thai top!); excellent welcome and service!

Always great food here at this hidden away restaurant near Earl's Court tube station. Real selection of vegan food which makes for a tasty meal!

Lovely tasting food and good options available, lots of space inside and some outdoor seating. Food portions are average and the dishes come out fast. The menu is not extensive but very good vegan options are available and certainly yummy. Toilets are located upstairs Staff were friendly but I had to call them over a couple of times and sometimes forgot to check with other table guests for additional orders (e.g. drinks). I would come back and I enjoyed the experience overall.

We had an amazing time at Mali Vegan Thai, and loved the food, service and atmosphere. Have been several times and have never been disappointed. We adore it there!

We had a lovely meal at Mali Vegan Thai. My partner and I both had a good main course, it was delicious and well proportioned

Exotic Thai Dishes for Vegan Lover. Lovely team. Will come back to try different dishes and recommend to friends.

I’ve been here twice and this place is so good!! Authentic Thai food. One of my favorite is the Pad see ew.

Really lovely place, great vibe, food was fantastic and relatively cheap.

Lovely place, great food, a bit of calm just off the main EC drag. Thanks

I looooved everything. The food was delicious. We first had the Shitake mushroom and tofu skewers (Satay Hed & Tao Hoo) and they were melting in our mouths. The texture and taste were great. Then we both took the drunken noodle (Pad Kee Mao) and loved it. The combination hit the spot. Also mango ice cream as dessert was 👌👌 Service was very friendly and nice. All the food looked so good and since everything is vegan it was hard to choose. I would love to go again.

Lovely dinner - food was excellent and authentic, reminiscent of what we've had when traveling in Thailand. Particularly recommend the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) and Khao Soi noodles. Service was friendly and fast.

Really delicious dishes and kind service :^D

Wow!! The BEST VEGAN PAD THAI!! The dessert was also a delicious cultural experience. Stunning!!

Super cute restaurant with a lot of choice of delicious food and very nice staff :) would recommend

Great tasting vegan Thai food, a bit expensive for what it was, but hey...

Easily the best thai food i’ve had ever and i’ve spent 2 months in thailand. PLEASE bring back the sizzling vegan fish dish to the menu PLEASE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The absolute best Thai food I've ever had. Truly authentic, just like I had in Thailand. The red curry with beef in particular was outstanding - perfectly balanced, aromatic and flavorful, creamy but not too rich. They actually use palm sugar and kaffir lime. The vegan beef was identical to actual beef. Incredible. Would have it for my last meal. The pad thai was also the only authentic pad thai i've had outside of Thailand. Spot on.

had the vegan pad thai and butterfly pea flower iced tea. no complaints, service was nice, food came out pretty quickly.

Excellent staff, excellent dishes excellent atmosphere. Absolutely worth trying. Authentic flavors, totally vegan.

I enjoyed it, even though I'm not vegetarian. The imitation beef was amazing. I recommend.

Brilliant service, so quick! Delicious food. Gean was great with ideas of food dishes. Its my regular place now and I am not even a vegan!

Great spot for vegans. Yummy authentic thai food! The place is cute and staff is friendly,highly recommended!

been here a million times, amazing vegan thai food although the prices do keep creeping up - get the "fish" if you want to change your life!!

Hidden away, so almost missed it. Great service, friendly and accommadating to needs. Food was nice, would go back again.

Mali Thai Vegan is an absolute hidden gem! Whether you're vegan or not, the food here is so good it might just convert even the biggest meat-eaters. The flavours are bold, fresh, and authentic—every dish we tried was packed with spices and cooked to perfection. One of the standout dishes was the Kol Sai—an absolute must-try! The balance of flavours was just incredible, and you’d never guess it was fully plant-based. Another favourite was the Spicy Vegan Chicken Popcorn Salad—crispy, flavourful, and with just the right amount of heat. It's fresh, zesty, and totally addictive! The portion sizes are huge, so you definitely get great value for your money. Come hungry, because you won’t want to leave a single bite behind! The only slight miss for me was the Grilled Imaginary Calamari—it didn’t quite hit the mark in terms of texture and flavour. But honestly, with everything else being so perfect, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. The restaurant also has outdoor seating, which is perfect for a relaxed meal, and its dog-friendly outside, so you can bring your pup along while enjoying some delicious Thai food. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is cosy yet vibrant. If you’re looking for seriously good vegan Thai food with generous portions, this is the place to go. Can’t wait to come back!

NOTE : I am not a vegan. Yet I STILL come here frequently! Delicious food that is presented really well. Loction is super convenient, right outside Earls Court tube. It’s a must try.

Delicious and unique food, great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend!

Amazing food! They have a special No onion no garlic menu that may be helpful for people who eat Jain food. All vegan restaurant! Chelsea provided great service!

Very delicious vegan food and friendly staff, what more could you ask for

We've been to this restaurant three times noon and evening and the food is always excellent . Various vegan Thai courses. The only cons I can tell is that the stuff is really upsetting, doesn't know how to respect the customers -we've made a reservation and when we come on time,they told us we need to wait "outside" in the cold freezing air ,While they let in people who just pop-in before us. This happened at all the times we were there,so if you don't care if rudeness or impolite behavior from the stuff then we'll enjoy a great meal

We got a table without a reservation. The tables are very close to each other. Due to the many tables and the number of guests, it is also noisy. The food was OK. The iced tea that changes color was interesting and delicious.

Had a great experience at Mali Vegan. Authentic Thai dishes with fresh ingredients. I can confirm that they have a separate menu in-house for those avoiding garlic and onion (and other aliums) Great service! No complaints . Really nice decor and atmosphere too ❤️

The food was very good and quickly at the table. The Pad Thai was particularly good, especially with the crispy fried tofu skins. However, the spicy vegan chicken popcorn was not spicy as the name of the dish would suggest. They were still tasty, good taste! The waitresses didn't seem to have much to do and stood around and we felt something being watched. But they were friendly and accommodating

They got rid of all their fish dishes! Their other dishes are good but the vegan fish dishes were next level, such a shame, it was the reason I kept coming back

It is a cozy and friendly atmosphere. I had a Por Pia Dok Mai and Pad Thai. They were delicious

Fast service, stunning tasty authentic vegan food and if you order it spicy it's actually spicy Edit: we went there for lunch two days later. This time I had the vegan kao soi noodle soup, and it was honestly even better than the first time and that was already exquisite.

Cosy restaurant, really friendly people and amazing vegan Thai food! We tried the fried tofu salad, the steamed aubergine, the kao soi (curry noodle soup) and vegan crispy pork stir fry - all equally delicious and standout. The flavours were incredible and ingredients fresh, spice levels were perfect for us - a kick but not too spicy. Loved it, already planning to go back and try other dishes ❤️

One of the best Vegan Thai restaurants ever. Lovely setting and great food and staff were just brilliant.

Great food, great service. Staff are friendly and quick service. Food is fresh and tasty. Would recommend.

Delicious vegan Thai food - great variety of food, authentic flavours, and INCREDIBLY fast service. Literally the fastest I've ever had food come out, including fast food. Great value and so many fun vegan proteins!

What an exceptional place. We love all Asian cuisine but there's often limited veggie options or the usual things. Here they have expanded a meat free take on a fantastic range - every dish was beautiful and packed so much flavour. Will definitely be back

My new favorite restaurant🤗 Beautiful location, very friendly waiters, fantastic food. Lots of GF dishes, Thanks🙏

A very cute and beautiful restaurant. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Even though we arrived just before the kitchen closed, they let us sit and enjoy the delicious food. I can highly recommend the Tom Kha Hed!

Amazing restaurant! Although I’m not vegan myself I really loved the food and will definitely go again soon! Pad Thai, musaman and the crispy duck in particular are delicious! Very cozy atmosphere too and reasonable prices!!

The first place I think of when asked for vegan recommendations in London, and on the shortlist when asked by non-vegans too.

I had a fantastic meal at Mali Vegan Thai Restaurant in London! The cozy, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. I tried the Pad Thai, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. If you're looking for authentic Thai flavors with a vegan twist, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

As a Thai, I can say this restaurant serves truly authentic Thai vegan food! Every dish I ordered was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and served quickly. The service was great, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

It is very good, more than I expected! Especially the first one, fried ravioli was exceptionally delicious! I do recommend to taste it first! It is really a suitable introduction of this restaurant’s high reputation, I believe.

Just ordered a couple of starters for takeaway during a hotel stay while touristing. They were in fact, incredibly tasty. Wish I knew how to cook like that at home.

We didn't try a lot but everything we ate was exceptionally good! The fried dumplings, mama je oat and namtok noodle are recommended. The atmosphere was very cute and comfy, and service was comparable to the speed of light :) overall 10/10.

We found this place by chance, walking through the streets near our hotel. We were pleasantly impressed by the courtesy of the staff, the speed with which the dishes arrived and the quantity of them (the price is justified by the quality and quantity). It is a little hidden, and for this reason also a little more "intimate" than the classic Thai restaurant. There is a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Advised.

Everything was delicious!!!I never order dessert because im to full but my partner ordered the Kluai Buad Chee and omg it was soooooooooooo good i ended up eating have of theirs :')

Top Thai restaurant with tasty authentic food and attentive service. Menu is all vegan and included milk tea (the boozy version was yummy too!). Booked in advance for the special menu Hot Pot, which was an amazing experience (see pics). 2 broths were given and a lot of vegetables, tofu, dumplings, sauces and 2 types of noodles. The crispy chive cakes as a starter were also delicious.

We came for lunch today (05.01.25) for the 1st time. Unfortunately the service was rushed & we didn’t feel valued as customers. Staff smiles were fake. Maybe they felt we didn’t order ‘enough’ food however we were drinking cocktails so our bill wasn’t a small one. Food was nicely presented & tasted nice. But I won’t be coming back.

Super quick and super tasty food.

Probably the best Thai food I have ever had! The massaman curry was truly delicious as was the papaya salad. Can’t wait to go back and try some other dishes! 100% recommend.

Best flavour experience in all of London

Favourite Thai place in London! Keep coming back again and again and there is always something else to try and it’s always delicious. Staff is always amazing and the place is beautifully decorated!

Probably been here like 5-6 times, never fail to amuse me how authentic, flavourful and unique the flavours are here. “Fish” in red curry sauce, the meaty tom yum soup are my absolute favorites. Portions for the main dishes are huge, we usually go for a curry, a soup, stir fry sharing for 2 and barely can finish.

Service is great and quick. We were very happy because the dishes taste great and the place is very cozy, so I wanted to leave a top review. However, a few hours after eating there, I still feel heavy and bloated, which makes me think that the food must’ve been very heavy and oily.

Unbelievable food and really nice decor and service inside, food prepared to really high level, highly recommend

A very cosy Thai place tucked away in a side street serving all vegan options which are great for my vegetarian friends! Walked in at 5:30pm and got a table right away as the place has just opened. Ordered the butterfly pea iced drink which is served with a slice of lime and it’s not only refreshing but a very fun drink to watch it turned from blue to purple after squeezing in some lime juice. My friends ordered the drunken noodles (which the spiciness can be adjusted) and pad thai while I went for the chick pea massaman curry with rice berry rice (a whole grain purple rice). The food arrived quickly and all very tasty especially my curry. Very attentive service too which makes the dining experience even more pleasant and I definitely will return to dine again if I am in the area!

It’s hard to find a truly remarkable Thai restaurant let alone a vegan one. We stumbled upon Mali by chance on a dreary London day and what a fantastic experience it was. Staff were friendly and the pictures draping the walls were nostalgic. Food arrived extremely quickly and although I normally dislike Thai food, I was surprised by the flavours on display. The Massaman curry was the standout with its sunset-like vibrance and creamy flavour. The drunken noodles with mock duck was also a great dish.

Everything is delicious 🤤😋 Staff are very friendly

Had the most delicious meal here. Have come here many times and it is just one of my favourite restaurants. Lovely staff and ambience and SO DELICIOUS.

I was working in London and accidentally and luckily discovered this amazing restaurant hidden at Earls Court. Now every time I come to London I make sure to visit and try something different on the menu. Staff are friendly and the food amazing for a vegan! Cannot recommend enough!

We came here due to many recommendations from people we know and we were not disappointed. The food was insanely good, beautiful aromatic flavours and presented wonderfully. We had the chive cakes, the satay tofu and mushrooms, the fried fish red Thai curry ( which was incredible) and the northern curried noodles which came in a delicious sauce! Definitely returning and will definitely recommend!

I had a takeaway so didn’t sit inside but the atmosphere when I went to collect was great. The food was absolutely delicious and the price good too. My takeaway was ready for me in 10-15 mins.

Incredible food. Everything we ordered was really good! Also great service and atmosphere, will definitiely return!

We are only half way through our order and it is already a-mazing!!!! Everything is so fresh and fragrant and tasty! We are not even vegan!

I am not vegan or vegetarian but I can say with 100% confidence that you will not miss meat at this restaurant. I would describe this as a superb thai restaurant that happens to not use meat. The meat substitutes they use are insanely good and of course the dishes using veggies were equally good. We had a large selection of starters - all were delicious, chive fritters, papaya salad etc. I was in a large group and everyone really enjoyed the mains. We had the red curry with fried fish dish - you would absolutely not tell you weren't eating fish and the curry was so good. another standout was the yellow curry noodle dish with (fake) beef brisket - texture of the beef substitute was insanely close to the real deal and the curry and noodles were spot on. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. The menu is quite large so there is a lot to choose from and I am sure that it is all good!

Excellent place for vegan Thai cuisine, lots of options and everything delicious

So so good! Food was amazing, and the place is designed really well too.

Really great restaurant. Great dishes, all perfectly seasoned. Despite special requests, the food was prepared surprisingly quickly. All the staff were very polite and competent: they were familiar with the menu and possible allergens and were very helpful. We liked it so much that we ate there two days in a row.

We managed to get a last minute booking at Mali on a Saturday on a recent trip into Central London. Staff were very friendly and attentive throughout and the food was amazing. Decor was very good even in bathrooms! I would recommend this place for vegans and non vegans. For mains we had the pad kee mao and pla tip pad prik both dishes were very flavoursome. If only we lived closer we could visit more often.

I would like to give the food 100 stars. Simply so delicious, whether it's a starter, main course or dessert. And the service was to die for. Would come back at any time.

Very good vegan Thai. Its too expensive tho

Delicious food with warm and friendly staff :) Glad that there’s a fully vegan restaurant!

We had the best dinner at Mali today, exellent service, delicious food and cool place, we couldn't belive it's all vegan!! highly recommended!

Small but nice. Very tasty food.

If you are looking to try different mock meats within authentic Thai cuisine, then Mali is the best place for you. The menu at Mali is very vibrant and the food is flavourful. As per my Thai friends, the taste at Mali is quite exquisite. About the place - Located in a small alley of Earls court very cosy place and the staff is very sweet. The staff being from Thailand is good at recommending dishes and aim at giving you a great experience.

The food was delicious and arrived incredibly fast

Rude behaviour, denied seating and service on walk-in even if there were several empty tables and available bookings on the website. Never going to visit a place which doesn't respect customers
